To start off you need to find the amount of koalas there are at the current number of trees by using the ratio one to 3 which means there is one koala for every 3 gum trees. So you need to devide 252 by 3 giving you the answer of 84 koalas currently. Now you nees to find how many koalas there are for the future 345 trees based on the same ratio 1 to 3. This would give you 115 koalas to be expected in the future. Finally to find the amount of koalas increaed you need to subtract 84 from 115 giving you a final answer of 31 koalas.
